Ladies I am like a yoyo when it comes to my eating. Just when I think I'm top of it, I come crashing down into a plate of something carbaliscious. Last time I talked about how I had reduced my carbs, this time I'm back where I was.
I find it hard because I am not strictly low carbing while pregnant and as such find it hard to find the right balance. I love my carbs (which was the whole problem in the first place). I guess I just need to stop stressing and just deal with the pregnancy.
Latte I'm so sorry about the ultrasound. I hope it turns out as just a scare and nothing else. I do know of many women who were told they had a particularly high risk of Down's (much much higher than yours) only to give birth to perfectly healthy babies without Down's. Stay strong.
Aprils0909 you must be happy to be going home. I'm assuming you'll be closer to family.
Hi Algts, congratulations on your pregnancy.
Goodbye262, I agree common sense tells me it would be ok to be in ketosis but personally, for myself, I don't want to take the chance. As you said, each person has to make their own decision. I would agree that lowering carbs as opposed to strict low carb eating can only be a good thing. I'm just finding it hard to be consistent.
Want2bskny, I think your new attitude is great. That's exactly how I want to be eating. I need to work on doing it daily and not on and off. Sometimes it's hard when I feel tired and heavy to organise a healthy meal for 2 kids and a husband. My problem is not being organised enough.
Oh well... healthy pregnancies to all.
